Description
SE 35 SE PLOMPTON PLOMPTON ROCKS
5/240 Boathouse on east side of lake
GV II
Boathouse, c1760. For Daniel Lascelles. Coursed gritstone blocks, some almost megalithic, and outcrop. A rectangular structure approximately 2.5 metres wide and 7 metres long. Entrance on north side (from land) is a narrow opening with large lintel and rebates and hooks for a hung door on the inner side. The wall is composed of very large boulders and is built between natural rock outcrops. The opening to the water is a shallow arch with rock-faced rustication to keystone and voussoirs. Interior: side walls are formed by the cut-back faces of the rock outcrops. The roof is a barrel vault of dressed gritstone blocks. Plompton Rocks is well known as a natural rock formation, but the boat house is one of several rock-cut features which are contemporary with the laying-out and planting of the Rocks as a pleasure ground for Daniel Lascelles when he was constructing Plompton Hall (qv).
